Lead Me to the Cross

Today in the car, I heard the song, Lead Me to the Cross by Hillsong. This is a song they play often on the station I listen to, and I have always liked it, but today I really listened to it. It talks all about ridding me of myself--which is a common theme in many of my posts--and a continual challenge for me. Check out these words and let them remind you of what Christ did for you and, in turn, what you should do for Him:

And lead me to the cross where Your love poured outBring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me downAnd rid me of myself, I belong to YouOh, lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as, I tempted and trialed, humanWord became flesh, bore my sin and deathNow You're risen, yeah

Oh and everything I once held dearI count it all as lost

And lead me to the cross where Your love poured outAnd bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me downAnd rid me of myself, I belong to YouOh lead me, oh, lead me, lead me to Your heart

Lead me to Your heartLead me to Your heartLead me to Your heart

Lead me to the cross where Your love poured outAnd bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me downAnd rid me of myself, I belong to YouOh lead me, lead me, lead me, lead meLead me to the cross, lead me to the cross, yeah

"For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body."
